{"product_id":"the-miles-davis-reader","title":"Frank Alkyer: The Miles Davis Reader [2018] paperback","description":"If you ever needed proof that a magazine can have a love affair with a musician  you're holding it in your hands. For EDownBeatE  the preeminent publication of the jazz world  Miles Dewey Davis was one of its most cherished subjects. Since it began covering the jazz scene in 1939  no other artist has been more diligently chronicled in its pages than Davis.THThe beauty of this collection is seeing the development of an artist over time. The reviews of his music go from quietly introducing a new talent to revering  perhaps  the greatest jazz artist of his generation. The feature articles begin with a very young  very polite Davis lamenting   I've worked so little. I could probably tell you where I was playing any night in the last three years.  As he develops  the interviews show Davis gaining confidence and stature  showing swagger and becoming the over-the-top  say-it-like-it-is showman that made every interview an event.THEThe Miles Davis ReaderE compiles more than 200 news stories  feature articles  and reviews by some of the greatest writers in jazz into one volume. It delivers a patchwork of his words and music a in the moment  as they happened.THWith several lengthy features added along with a dozen new photographs  this new edition is a beautiful series of snapshots  a year-by-year ride through the many phases of Davis as an artist and as a man.","brand":"Alkyer, Frank","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44655891808546,"sku":"9781617137044","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/products\/alkyer-frank-the-miles-davis-reader-9781617137044-40837125243170.jpg?v=1678656047","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/the-miles-davis-reader","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
